SING ME

Will you sing me a show tune,

Lighten my heart

As I sit front row

Waiting to die?

Sing me “You’ll Never Walk Alone”

Since I am so scared.

If I don’t comfort you, it’s because

I need comforting.

I may even turn away,

Ashamed I’m not stronger.

I used to be the one singing,

“You’ve Got to be Taught.”

Just don’t sing me,

“Climb Every Mountain.”

I’m so tired, there’ll be

No curtain call.

Sing me a show tune

So I can hum along

Until it’s over.
